Ye Lulu felt that although this shop’s location was not considered good in the most conventional sense, it was exquisite. The river was very unique!
This was the most interesting spot among all the places the broker brought her to!
The broker was stunned. She didn’t take a fancy to those shops that he thought were good. In the end, he blindly brought her over to take a look at this, but she took a fancy to it?
“This shop has some origins. It has been here for a few years… About six or seven years. In the beginning, it was a noble official from Yingzhou who came to Yuan City and wanted to open a shop to develop his business in Yingzhou. That noble official didn’t like the main street in the city and felt that the business there had no further room for development. There was no room for him to interfere. Furthermore, the development was very slow. In addition, the official liked buildings with a few floors. It was very difficult to find such a shop on the main street of Yuan City…”
“Therefore, that official had an idea and simply ordered people to buy a piece of land in a ‘special’ place. He paid for a building himself, which is the one that you’re looking at now…”
It was obvious from the subtle expressions that when the broker said ‘special,’ it meant that the people despised it.
“Then? Why was it empty?” Ye Lulu asked, her expression unchanged.
“After the building was built, that official was transferred to the northwest, very far away from Yuan City. The official could not develop his business in Yuan City at all, so he wanted to sell this shop. However, what was surprising was that a high-ranking official, who had just been transferred to Yuan City, happened to be that official’s old enemy. The first day that high-ranking official came to Yuan City, he came to the Yuan River to patrol and walked to this building. He said that it was a dangerous building and it was easy for people to fall into the water if they walked by the side…”
“At that time, no one dared to buy that official’s shop. It sat idle here all along. That high-ranking official held a position in Yuan City for three years, and this building was empty till then. When that high-ranking official finally transferred away… This building had been empty for a few years. It was also exposed to the wind and sun. It had long become a real old building, especially since half of it was on the river. Others looked at it and were even more afraid to walk in, let alone buy it.”
“It has been empty until now…”
“It has become a dangerous building. It’s not very dangerous but it’s dilapidated. The location of this river is strange and dangerous. The entire shop is old, but it’s very big. It looks dilapidated, so no one cares about it.”
After the broker finished speaking, he saw that Ye Lulu was really interested, so he quickly added, “Although it doesn’t look good, the wood used in this small building is actually very good. It could be said to be top-notch. That official was rich and powerful back then. He also loved to show off his face the most. The materials he used were the best. If it weren’t for the fact that some of them couldn’t be removed from the entire piece or the engravings inlaid in it, thieves would have gone in to steal and sell them.”
“It’s just this ordinary wood outside. Look, it’s been six or seven years. This building is still very firm. It’s just a little tattered and looks old!”
“Do you see that part on the top floor under the eaves? It’s dusty but let me tell you! The eaves were embedded with glass! Once this dust is wiped clean, it would become beautiful and extraordinary. However, it’s so tall and the structure on the river is terrifying. No one dares to go up to preserve it perfectly…”
“Take a look. If you take a closer look at this building, it’s quite good.. After all, it was built by a noble official. It’s just that it has been empty for a long time…”
